A School inspector entered a classroom while Scripture lesson was in progress, and decided to ask, the children some questions. Calling on one small boy, he asked, “Who broke down the walls of Jericho?” The boy answered, “Not me, sir,” The inspector turned to the teacher and asked,” Is this the usual standard in this class?” The teacher replied, “The boy is usually quite honest, and I believe him.”
Leaving the room in disgust, the inspector sought out the head-master and explained what had transpired. The headmaster said, “I’ve known both teacher and boy concerned for several years, and I’m sure that neither of them would do a thing like that.”I suggest that we pay the bills and write the sum off.”
